MY 6 WEEK TRANSFORMATION - LET'S GET STARTED NOW !

Hello EVERYBODY ! How is going ? Are you alert for getting started ?

As announced final week, I'm gonna start my 6 weeks summer transformation nowadays.
FOLLOW ME !

Being an engineer, I'm fairly analytic and concise, so I'm going to list here all the topics you should leank about when you start a fitness transformation:

• Goals: This is the most important one. Whatever you do, the the first leang you should ask yourself is "which are my thingives ?", and when you have the answer, just write it down on a piece of paper and stick it on the mirror of your bathroom.

• Questions like these should definitely get an answer in first instance:

1. Where am I going to start from ?
2. Where I'm going to finish ?
3. When I'm gonna start ?
4. When I'm gonna finish?

• These simple questions are 4 of the most powerful tools for self improvement an time management ! If you don't believe me check this awesome resource out : The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People.
• You normally want to have short term thingives ( two or three months time) and long term thingives (half year, one year or even years from now). My short term fitness thingive is to get in the best shape I can for a photo-shoot I have to take after this 6 weeks transformation, with my friend and photographer Samuel Rodriguez. Hopefully some photos will be published. My long term fitness thingives ? Ehm they are very very demanding thingives but I want to keep a veil of secrecy at moment. And you ? Did you write down your thingives ? If not do it now.

• Body status starting point: Here you definitely want to write down your numbers; This is my starting point:

1. Starting date: first of JULY
2. Height: 176 cm
3. Weight: 78.4 Kg
4. Stout percentage: 9%
5. Eventually you wanna write here the degrees for your neck, chest, waist and legs.

• Body status end point (goal): Here you specwhethery the thingives you want to achieve at the end of the transformation ; This is for me:

1. Terminate date: 11th of August
2. Height: 1.76 (can't change this unluckyly)
3. Weight: 77.4 - 78.4 Kg
4. Stout percentage 4-6%

Record down your thingives genuinely helps you to achieve them.

• Training: I work full time 5 days a week and I also have to do some additional studies. Further, I'm totally independent from my family, so I do not have any kind of "housework" help from any other person. In these cases the best way to go is to train three times a week, with resistance weights, following a specwhetheric split. These three days will be done in "8x8 Gironda style". I also train one day in body-weight style (dips and chin up mostly) and I'll probably have at least one cardio-stretching day.
• Food: Here you have to be very summarye. Food is the most important factor for your success. I will personally try to follow a Paleo diet for at least 4 days a week, and load the carbohydrates in the middle of the week and in the weekend. MY SHOPPING CHART , MY COOKING SESSION.

• Photos: The mirror will be your most honest friend here, but your memory could instead deceive. So, we are gonna take picture every week. Saturday would probably be the best day. Photos are extremely powerful because will be documenting the wgap transformation, and whether you keep a diary like this, even after years these photos will be extremely useful to show you what worked well and what didn't.
• Supplements: For this program you do not need many supplements. My training partners, Francesco and Vincenzo, do not use many supplements but they are getting awesome results besides with my program. I would propose protein powder, BCAA for recovering faster and a good post-workout shake. Maybe some L-carnitine tartarate could help you as well. Of course vitamins are always a must.
• Books: Yes, reading book in the technology era is still a good leang. I will write here all the books I'm reading and a personal review. You can then decide whether you want to follow me
  blindly or you want a scientwhetheric proof of what we are doing, reading these books as well.
• Price: The only cost you have to support is the food. Paleo diet is slightly more expensive than bread and past diet. But your pancreas will thank you believe me. My "cost per meal" average will be always someleang like 2.5 euro so about 15 euro a day, which is less than the price of a one single pizza here.

I will go in depth for each of this section very soon.

GET TRANSFORMED !
